Three-time presidential candidate Ron Paul, interviewed Tuesday on Fox Business, suggested that in the 2016 presidential race, in which Paul is not supporting any candidate, neither Democrat Hillary Clinton nor Republican Donald Trump is proposing a course of action that will fix the fundamental problems of the US government. These problems are severe, says Paul, who opines that “we’re witnessing” in American now “something similar to the breakup of the Soviet system” decades earlier. Paul says the Soviet Union system didn’t work then, just like the United States system doesn’t work now.
To understand the conditions in America that can contribute to tensions with police and even potentially individuals being motivated to kill cops as occurred in Dallas, Texas on Thursday, it is important that people look at the United States government’s war on drugs and the Federal Reserve. Ron Paul Institute Chairman Ron Paul presented this argument in a recent Fox Business interview with host Deirdre Bolton.
When asked by Bolton to name “one measure” that Paul thinks could alleviate some the racial or class tensions in America, Paul responded with two. First, Paul suggested, end the war on drugs, and, second, end the Fed.
What does libertarian communicator Ron Paul think of patriotism and the Fourth of July holiday? That is a question Jay Taylor asked Paul this week when Paul was a guest on Taylor’s show Turning Hard Times into Good Times.

Fox News Senior Judicial Analyst and former New Jersey state Judge Andrew Napolitano, speaking Thursday with Fox Business host Stuart Varney, reacted strongly to United States Attorney General Loretta Lynch having met privately with Bill Clinton this week.
Former President Bill Clinton is married to presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton has long been under criminal investigation by employees of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) — an agency administered by Lynch’s Department of Justice. Cutting to the chase, Napolitano concludes, “The appearance of impropriety is so profound; no one could accept that [Lynch] is now neutral in this case.”
As a guest Tuesday on the CNBC show Futures Now, Ron Paul predicted that American voters, “as we get closer to the election,” will be motivated by “who they hate the most” to make a choice between the Republican and Democratic presidential nominees instead of choosing the Libertarian Party alternative. Paul, who notes that he has been through this process himself as the 1988 Libertarian nominee, also says that this year’s Libertarian presidential ticket is presenting itself with “mostly Republican viewpoints” instead of a message that would really appeal to people contemplating voting third party.

In the last three minutes of his 45-minute Tuesday interview on the C-SPAN Washington Journal call-in show, Ron Paul Institute Chairman Ron Paul made a brief and resolute statement regarding individual rights. The statement underlies much of Paul’s discussion during the program of matters ranging from the United States governments’ foreign interventions to the Federal Reserve to search and seizure abuses.
Speaking earlier this month with host John Stossel on Fox Business, former United States House of Representatives Member and presidential candidate Ron Paul said that Americans need a second party rather than a third party. Paul elaborates that the Republicans and Democrats in charge “work together all the time” as if they are in one party instead of two. Focusing on foreign policy, Paul points to the coalition of “hawkish Democrats and also neocon Republicans” in favor of war as an example of the effective one-party system.
In the interview, Paul also assesses that the Libertarian presidential ticket is not providing a compelling alternative to this one-party rule and that Libertarian vice-presidential nominee Bill Weld “is hardly a libertarian.”
